Flu Shots for Employees Help Maintain Productivity in the Workplace

Workdays lost due to a common sickness like the flu, when accumulated,
can have a huge effect on your business’ success. In fact, according to
Society for Human Resource Management, flu causes 200 million days of
decreased productivity and 75 million days of work absences all in the
span of a single year. Fortunately, a simple precaution like
administering flu shots for employees on-site can reduce the risks,
maintain your productivity levels and avoid losses.

Flu Shots and Productivity

When
an employee is sick, he or she simply does not perform at their best.
Studies show that workers afflicted with the flu suffer from poor
performance of even the simplest reaction-time tasks by 20 to 40
percent. Workers who aren’t performing at optimal levels tend to commit
errors and be more prone to injury. This is counterproductive to any
company, not to mention that it adds up to financial losses when
mistakes are made.http://www.ushealthworks.com/blog/2016/05/flu-shots-employees-help-maintain-productivity-workplace/
